When I first saw the elementalist class trailer few years ago I was really excited to see we might have some cool dynamic camera angles, however we currently only have an option for a small offset to left or right, which is not even noticeable when used.
You can check out this video to see what I’m talking about:

Turns out that was all smoke and mirrors, tricks to make the game actually look better : (not that it isn’t great already :P)
I noticed that we have a similar camera effect when downed, the camera changes and skewers in angle a bit. I would really love if we could get an option to enable such dynamic camera angles for combat, maybe make it move around a bit, maybe shake when we do critical hits, or sway about, change angles a bit and some other cool tricks, dynamically zooming in and out like when we encounter large bosses which we sometimes already have, maybe this effect could be used for when enemies use large aoe abilities as well. I think this could make combat more exciting and thrilling for those that find the static camera a bit too boring. And ofc an option to turn it off for people that do not wish to be bothered by it in sPvP for example if it might distract them. What do you guys think ?
